Therapy with David
My approach is intuitive, sensitive and empathic with a strong focus on fostering positive growth. I work to support you, collaborate with you, empower you to build upon your individual strengths and work towards our agreed-upon goals. I aim to stand alongside you as we develop strategies to help reduce any distress, promote measurable progress and navigate any future challenges.
I provide a safe, therapeutic space established with warmth, genuineness and positive regard, ensuring you are heard and valued. I utilise an evidence-base informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), providing therapy that is comprehensive, easy to access and of a gold-standard.
